Business Undergraduate schools, from Canada.

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>I live in Toronto, and I'm an Asian, with a Korean citizenship.</p>

<p>Since Canadian schools do not use GPA, my average grade for Gr.11 was 92.3, and there are no AP courses offered.
Gr. 9 + 10 grades are good as well, and although our school doesnt rank, I'm firm that I'm in the top 5%</p>

<p>My Sat1 Scores (I did it twice):
CR 600 600
WR 680 600
Math 730 800
2010 2010
(this is firm for ED, but I am going to improve it for Regular on november)</p>

<p>SAT II SCORES:
MATH LVL2: 780
Physics: 770 (estimated score to get on October -- could be slightly more or less)</p>

<p>As for the extracurricular activities, I am a director of finance @ P&G steering commitee(a committe @ school in sponsorship with proctor and gamble), a founder of Financial Securities and Investment club, and hold various other positions at business / math related clubs. (Nothing too big outside school tho)</p>

<p>I'm thinking of applying as an Early Decision on one of the following schools:</p>

<p>UPENN WHARTON
NYU STERN
COLUMBIA
CORNELL
(I think I stand almost no chance on UPENN + COLUMBIA... :( )</p>

<p>and if deferred or rejected, to Carnegie Melon + Emory + Michigan Ross + UCLA or UC BERKELEY and a few other schools on Regular admission.
(if possible please tell me the chances on these ones as well)
(and is UC very hard to get in as an international?)</p>

<p>So, what do you guys think about what I should do?</p>

<p>I was almost firm to do an ED on NYU, but wanted to listen to you guys' opinions.</p>

<p>And if I do write an early admission for Stern, what do you think my chance is? and perhaps this is even idiotic to ask, but, to UPENN?</p>

<p>Or even any other new suggestions!</p>

<p>What I'm mostyl concerned about is my chance to get into Stern with ED.</p>

<p>Will be looking forward to some advices, it will be very helpful to me.</p>

<p>Thanks for your concern!</p>

<p>UPENN Wharton: REJECT
NYU Stern: Very Unlikely/ REJECT
COLUMBIA: REJECT
CORNELL: REJECT</p>

<p>As an international Asian male, your chances are very, very low. I hope you don't need financial aid.</p>

<p>The UCs are very hard out of state, or in your case out of country.
Carnegie Mellon: Maybe/ Unlikely
Emory: Maybe
Michigan Ross: Very Unlikely/ REJECT
UCLA: REJECT
UCBerkeley: REJECT</p>

<p>Gaffe's pretty much right. 92% would be about an A- average which is ~3.7 (at least that's my reckoning). His SATs aren't exactly stellar (you'll need to break 2200 to be even competitive at this point), but his EC's are pretty decent. Still, he's aiming waaaay too high with his core stats the way they are. Sure he can try and get into some, but I would be giving too much false hope saying he could get into any of those.</p>

<p>NYU might be slightly likely, but Ross? Eh, probably not as a Pre-Admit. You can TRY for LSA and then go into Ross your sophomore year, but it's not a 100% chance you'll get in. It's a pretty competitive program if I recall correctly. None of my friends made it this year so yeah...</p>
